Chapter 65: The Forgotten Island
"Ye Wuyan" Encyclopediaββ
At the age of 10, Professor Ye Hui of Modu University, who was engaged in the field of research on the habits of pet beasts in the wild, accidentally found that Ye Wuyan, who had been abandoned in the wild and had lived in the same pet beast group for ten years, was brought back to human society by Professor Ye Hui after negotiating with the pet beast group, and was subsequently adopted by Professor Ye Hui.
At the age of 15, he passed the assessment of the Pet Beast Alliance, became a gold medal professional beast master, and was exceptionally admitted to Modu University.
At the age of 16, he went to many famous universities in China alone to 'kick the hall', and had a battle exchange with the genius beast masters of all parties, and fought against the beasts of the same level, with a record of winning a hundred battles.
At the age of 17, he represented Modu University to participate in the Longxuanguo National College Royal Beast Competition, led the team to win the first place in the group stage, and won the first place in the individual competition.
At the age of 18, he was specially approved by Modu University to graduate early, and was selected as an "outstanding graduate" of Modu University in the same year.
At the age of 20, together with two other outstanding graduates of Modu University, he represented Long Xuanguo in the 110th International Youth Beast Championship, led the team to win the first place in the group stage, and won the first place in the individual competition.
At the age of 21, he passed the assessment of the Pet Beast Alliance and became a master-level beast master.
22 years old...... He is suspected of being ambushed by a terrorist organization and his whereabouts are unknown.
23 years old...... Suspected death.
24 years old...... It is suspected to be infested in the plateau area of Snow Hidden Province of Longxuan Kingdom.
ββ¦β¦β
Gu Ling read the life trajectory of the encyclopedia in one breath, and his mood was unsettled for a long time.
"Senior Ye's origin turned out to be an abandoned baby in the wild, and he lived with a group of pet beasts for ten years......"
Abandoned babies are a common phenomenon in all eras.
And Ye Wuyan was abandoned in the wild since he was a child, and he was not bitten to death or eaten by the vicious pet beasts in the wild, and he was blessed to be accepted by a kind pet beast group and raised him carefully for ten years...... This luck is also absolute.
"However, Senior Ye, who was able to become a master-level beast master at the age of 21, what happened next, the whole person almost disappeared......
"22 years old, suspected of being ambushed by a terrorist organization, and his whereabouts are unknown...... Gu Ling turned back to record Ye Wuyan's deeds when he was 22 years old.
That is, in this year, Ye Wuyan, who has been shining brightly, is like a meteor in the night sky, quietly 'falling' at a very fast speed, and the online information about Ye Wuyan behind is basically chasing after the wind and shadows, and there is not much authenticity.
In the six years that Ye Wuyan has almost disappeared, every year there are hundreds of ways for Ye Wuyan to die on the Internet.
A genius who is too sharp, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
"Teacher Zhou deliberately concealed Senior Ye's identity before, why did he suddenly tell me now? Just because of my previous curiosity? Or is it something that Mr. Zhou wants to hint at......"
Gu Ling's mood was a little complicated.
ββ¦β¦ Zero-Zero, it's time to sleep. β
At this time, Gu Ya's voice sounded outside the door.
Gu Ling came back to his senses and responded: "Okay, I'll turn off the light and go to bed after I blow my hair." β
"Well, good night......" The footsteps outside the door faded away, and it was Gu Ya who left.
Gu Ling took twenty minutes, and after drying his hair thoroughly, he turned off the light and went to bed.
"Miwoo~"
In the dark, Xian Jiu skillfully burrowed into the quilt and approached Gu Ling's neck to lie down.
Gu Ling touched Xian Jiu's head, and then closed his eyes.
ββ¦β¦β
I don't know how long it took, Gu Ling turned over and opened his eyes, and the room was pitch black.
Relying on his memory, Gu Ling reached out and fumbled for the mobile phone on the bedside table, and then pressed the power button.
The phone screen lights up, and the time displayed is-
1:35 minutes
Gu Lingban leaned on the head of the bed, a little depressed: "I can't sleep a little......"
After watching the short video for a while, Gu Ling put the phone back and lay down again, but he still couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
When he opened his eyes again, this time Gu Ling looked at the time of his phone again-
2:20 minutes
ββ¦β¦ Still can't sleep! Gu Ling grabbed his hair with some annoyance, turned over and sat up.
"Mi woo~" On the bed, Xian Jiu opened the cat pupil in a daze, subconsciously raised his little paws, and rubbed the sleepy cat pupil.
Seeing that he accidentally woke up Xianjiu, Gu Ling turned around, reached out and gently stroked Xianjiu's head: "Xianjiu, if you are sleepy, continue to sleep, I'll go out for a walk twice." β
Hearing this, Xian Jiu immediately shook his head and cheered up: "Mi woo~" Ben Meow is also going.
"Okay, but we have to go down quietly, we can't make noise with the second aunt......" Gu Ling scratched Xianjiu's chin twice, then casually put on a coat, put the key and mobile phone in his pocket, and carried Xianjiu out of the room.
Gu Ling walked down the stairs lightly, then opened the door and walked out.
"Mi woo~" Xian Jiu shrank next to Gu Ling's neck, and his little paws pulled the hat of his coat to cover his body to block the wind.
Ping'an Town, which is more than two o'clock in the middle of the night, is not still brightly lit like in big cities, but the surroundings are quiet and blend in with the night.
Gu Ling turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and walked out along the main road.
Because Ping'an Town is close to the sea, there is still a trace of smell from the sea in the night breeze blowing from the sea at this moment.
The only place in the entire town of Ping'an that is still lit is a small lighthouse standing by the sea.
The light from the lighthouse is not very bright, but it is there all the time.
Unconsciously, Gu Ling walked to the beach.
The wind on the beach was stronger, and the night cooled down, so Gu Ling zipped up his coat and continued to walk towards the beach.
"Hoo ......"
Gu Ling took a deep breath, and his chaotic thoughts were put into the silent environment around him, as if a drop of ink had dropped into a clean lake.
It didn't seem worth mentioning, and the traces were slowly erased.
"Mi woo~" At this time, Xian Jiu poked Gu Ling's face, and his other paw trembled and pointed in one direction.
Gu Ling turned his head and looked fixedly: "There...... Seems to be a person? β
"Mi woo~" Xian Jiu also looked in that direction, and his little paws pulled Gu Ling tightly.
Gu Ling swallowed his saliva and walked over with Xian Jiu in his arms.
Gradually, Gu Ling saw clearly that it was an old man.
"Grandpa?"
Gu Ling had a little impression of the old man in front of him.
In my memory, this grandfather seems to have had an accident a few decades ago, and then he was rescued, and he has been a vegetative person for more than ten years.
But he didn't wait for the Nian family to be happy for long, and the doctor diagnosed that Grandpa Nian seemed to have mental problems, he didn't remember many things, and he didn't recognize people, but he kept saying the word "go back" in his mouth.
The family thought about it for a long time, and felt that Grandpa Nian missed his hometown, and then took people back here.
After returning to his hometown, Grandpa Nian still didn't remember people and things except that his mind was still not clear, but he could also start to eat and dress by himself.
When Gu Ling often went back to his hometown when he was a child, whenever he passed by here, he would always see Grandpa Nian sitting on the threshold, looking at the sky with a dull gaze, and he would sit for a day.
When it is almost dusk, Grandpa Nian will go for a walk, and he likes to go for a walk by the sea the most.
At the beginning, Grandpa Nian's family was worried that something would happen, so they asked people to follow him every day.
Later, I found out that Grandpa Nian went to the beach, but he just stood on the beach and looked at the sea, and did nothing else, so he slowly felt relieved.
Gu Ling turned his head to look around, but didn't see anyone else, so he spoke to the old man again: "Why did you come out in the middle of the night?" Do you want me to send you back? β
The old man did not react, still staring at the sea with a blank expression.
ββ¦β¦ Father. β
Just when Gu Ling was thinking about whether to find someone at home last year, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind him.
The light of a flashlight shone on Gu Ling and the old man.
Gu Ling turned his head to look at the person who came, and recalled it in his mind.
β¦β¦ It seems that this is Nian Huailin, the eldest son of Grandpa Nian.
Gu Ling called: "Uncle Nian." β
According to the seniority, Gu Ling should indeed be called uncle.
When Nian Huailin saw Gu Ling, he thought about it for a while, and also remembered people: "It turned out to be Xiao Ling, you came back from vacation?" β
"Yes." Gu Ling nodded, and glanced at the old grandfather of the Nian family again: "Why did Grandpa Nian come out in the middle of the night......
"Hey......" Nian Huailin sighed: "The old man was fine when he had dinner, and he went back to the room after eating, I just woke up shortly after, and I went to the old man's room to take a look, but the person was gone, but I didn't expect him to come to the beach secretly." β
"Again?" Gu Ling looked stunned: "Grandpa Nian, does he often come to the beach at night?" β
"It's the last half a month, and I haven't had it before."
Nian Huailin walked over and helped the old man: "Don't say it, I'll take the old man back first, Xiao Ling, you can go back to sleep quickly." β
"Okay, Uncle Nian."
Gu Ling glanced at the place where Grandpa Nian was standing before, and on a whim, he also walked over, and then faced the direction of the sea.
"What's there to see here...... Well? How can there be a black ...... over there? Is it a delusion? β
Gu Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, looking fixedly at a 'black shadow' on the other side of the sea, like a giant beast lying there quietly.
Topographic map of the vicinity of Ping'an Town...... Looks like there's an island over there?
ββ¦β¦β
After the sea breeze blew on the beach for a while, Gu Ling took Xian Jiu, who was already drowsy, back home.
As soon as Gu Ling lay down, his originally messy brain suddenly calmed down a lot, and he quickly fell asleep.
β¦β¦
The next day, in the morning.
After being woken up by the alarm clock, Gu Ling got up to brush his teeth and wash his face, while holding his mobile phone and looking at the deposit in the bank card.
A good day starts with a small vault.
There was originally a deposit of 280,000, plus the 700,000 of the bounty in the reserve this time, for a total of 980,000 dragon coins.
Rounding it off, she's a millionaire!
Looking at the string of numbers in the bank card, Gu Ling couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the profession of beast master is so popular, and hundreds of thousands of dollars can be easily credited to the account...... Refreshing! β
When you have money, you have to use it wisely.
Gu Ling thought in his heart: "The second pet beast hasn't figured out which attribute to choose, and the level of the pet beast space hasn't been improved yet...... Let's put aside the matter of the second pet beast for the time being. β
First improve the strength of Xianjiu and prepare for the friendly match in two months.
Gu Ling didn't forget that the championship prize money of the friendly match was at least hundreds of thousands!
"The pet beast resources I bought during the summer vacation have been used up, and it's time to buy a new one."
The operations of the Ancient Book of Beasts are one after another.
Gu Ling couldn't grasp it.
You can't all rely on the unstable little spicy chicken of the Royal Beast Book.
Thinking of this, Gu Ling immediately opened the shopping software on his mobile phone.
"I've finished eating the canned Xiangbo, you can buy it for Xianjiu again."
When retrieving the dragon pet beast egg, Xian Jiu also helped a lot, and it was not too much to give a little reward.
"I've bought electromagnetic fruits before, so let's buy three boxes this time......
"Xianjiu's training direction is still based on speed, if you can have portable training equipment in terms of training speed, you can train anytime, anywhere and even walking on a regular basis, it would be great."
Gu Ling's fingertips kept swiping on the interface, and after comparing several brands of training equipment, he finally selected a weight training belt that could be customized, and the price was 100,000 yuan.
It's a bit expensive, but this weight-bearing training belt can also have a partial training effect on general-level pet beasts.
Even if Immortal Nine is promoted to a general-level pet beast in the future, it can continue to be used for a period of time.
"Strange Super Stone ......"
Gu Ling opened the collection interface and saw the strange super energy stone that he was reluctant to buy for Xian Jiu last time.
And this time......
Gu Ling clicked in without hesitation, and then didn't look at it, and chose it very generously...... A minimum quality Strange Super Stone worth 200,000 pieces.
Payment! Place your order!
β¦β¦ Ahem.
It's not that Gu Ling doesn't want to buy a higher-quality strange super energy stone for Xianjiu, the main reason is that the economic conditions don't allow it.
The next price of the Strange Super Stone is 500,000 Dragon Coins.
Gu Ling was still thinking about buying other things, if he bought 500,000 strange super energy stones, it was estimated that he would not have enough money to buy them.
After washing, Gu Ling returned to the room, and saw that Xian Jiu had already gotten up and was about to open the tablet to play games, so he walked over in three or two steps and hugged Xian Jiu over.
"Immortal Nine ......"
Xian Jiu's face was dazed, looking at his own beast master who wanted to stop talking, and forbearance in every way, and finally sighed softly: "I believe in you!" β
Xianjiu: (_) Mi woo?
"You go ahead and play."
Gu Ling lowered his head, and after sucking the cat fiercely, he rubbed the soft cat head again before letting go of Xian Jiu.
After being ravaged severely, Xianjiu's hair all over his body was messy, not beautiful at all, but more like a stray cat raised by a little Hanako.
"Mio!" Xian Jiu only glanced at his hair, and immediately became unhappy, and his little face became puffy.
Ben Meow just got up and combed the hair!!
Gu Ling lowered his head and continued to browse the shopping software on his phone: "By the way, I just ordered canned Xiangbobo for you, it should arrive the day after tomorrow......"
Hearing this, just as he was about to use the hungry wolf pounce on Gu Ling, the cat's pupils lit up instantly: "Mi woo~"
Ben Meow magnanimous ~
Since the beast master bought canned food for Ben Meow again, Ben Meow will reluctantly forgive the beast master!
Xianjiu continued to go back to playing the game.
On the other side, after the feeling of a chill on his back disappeared, Gu Ling quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Stingy cat~
Isn't it just a stroke~
Fortunately, she reacted in time to keep her long, smooth hair.
ββ¦β¦ Got it! β
[Strange Spirit Fruit: After being taken by humans or pet beasts, it helps to increase the rapid enhancement of mental power]
Gu Ling glanced at the price and gasped.
A box of 5 fruits, the price is 150,000, which is equivalent to 30,000 yuan for a strange spirit fruit.
"What about the robbery?!"
Gu Ling was in pain, but he had to grit his teeth and place an order to pay for two boxes of strange spirit fruits, a total of 300,000 yuan.
Generally speaking, the Beast Master's pet beast space level breaks through from one star to two stars, and it will take two or three years to break through to the ordinary level without the help of any external force.
But two or three years is too long for Gu Ling.
Gu Ling's goal for himself was to raise the level of the pet beast space to two stars within half a year.
In addition to daily meditation and cultivation, it is necessary to use the help of external forces such as strange spirit fruits.
Gu Zero calculated the cost of this shopping -
Canned fragrant food: 60,000 pieces
Thunder Seal Cat Custom Weight Training Belt: 100,000 pieces
Three boxes of electromagnetic fruits: 90,000 pieces
Strange Super Stones: 200,000 pieces
Two boxes of Strange Spirit Fruits: 300,000 pieces
β¦β¦ A total of 750,000 dragon coins.
"There are only 230,000 left...... Gu Ling was a little hesitant whether he should buy more resources, and after a few thoughts, he still gave up and continued to buy resources:
"Forget it, keep 200,000 yuan, if Xianjiu destroys something again, he will have the money to pay ......."
Wait a minute?!
Why did she think of this stubble?
Gu Ling immediately shook his head in horror.
"Impossible! There is absolutely no way that such a horrible thing will happen again! β
Gu Ling finally glanced at his current bank card deposit and sighed deeply.
The millionaire's happiness is so short-lived.
The profession of beast master makes money quickly, but it also burns money.
She must get the championship bonus of the friendly match, otherwise there will be no money to buy all the resources she needs in the future.
"Xianjiu, go out to do daily training."
After hearing Gu Ling's words, Xian Jiu reluctantly put down the tablet and jumped off the bed: "Mi woo~"
Gu Ling came down from the second floor and saw that Xiang Jinli was already busy making breakfast in the kitchen.
"Second aunt, I'm going out for a run~"
"Huh! Remember to come back in half an hour......"
After simply completing a set of warm-up exercises at the door of the house, Gu Ling took Xian Jiu and started running along the route of the road.
Shuttling past the small houses, Gu Ling adjusted his breathing while looking at the nearby scenery.
Passing by an old tree, a few small children like turnips gathered together and chattered about something.
ββ¦β¦ Hear that there are haunted houses on the island. β
"There must be a haunted house! I've heard my grandfather say that too! β
Gu Ling keenly heard the word "island", and his footsteps couldn't help but pause, and he stopped and breathed a little.
One of the little boys had a serious expression, his two hands in the shape of claws, waving in the air: "Yes, my grandfather also said it!" There are scary monsters in the haunted house that eat children...... That long tongue can tie up five children together and swallow them into their stomachs......"
A vivid description frightened several timid children into pale.
An older boy next to him pouted: "I also heard my dad say it, but that island was abandoned many years ago, and no one lives there, where is there any ghost?" Even if there are monsters, they are already trapped on it, and they can't eat children. β
A little girl asked curiously, "Isn't that monster lonely on top of it......?"
"Niu Niu, if you think the monster is lonely, you might as well be the bride of the monster and accompany it......"
When the little girl heard this, she was so frightened that she shook her head: "I don't want it!" I don't want to leave my mom ......"
ββ¦β¦β
Gu Ling wanted to hear more, but many of the little children in this group seemed to be frightened and dispersed directly.
"Island? Haunted houses? Monster? β
Gu Ling didn't believe that there were any monsters, at most there were some terrifying-looking pet beasts on the island, and then they were passed on by uninformed people, and they became "monsters".
